With reference to your letter No. C/628 of
the 23r(i OctolDer, 1939, I enclose a copy of a letter
I have received from Vallance, and should "be grateful
if you could let me know how I should reply.
2 # ¥ith particular regard to Vallance's paragraph
3. Yallance told me when I saw him in Baghdad that he
was walking to the Baghdad Engineering school, having
made up his mind to accept a post that had "been offered
him, hut that on the way he called in at the Embassy,
(as he had heard previously from them), and having read
- l> 'I fit*
my letter decided to turn down the ahovem^ntioned offer.
He explained that it was fortunate that he had received
my letter when he did, or he would not have "been avai
lable for the work we are offering him. It will "be
seen that Vallance now writes in direct contradiction
A* / ora/^.L./isr
of what he told me. I did of course ask Vallance to
reply "by telegram, "but that was to avoid any unnecessary
delay. The request did not obviously in any way make a
promise of employment from the date of Yallance's
C/1fcW
turning down of tte employment. However, as Vallance
did turn down work on receipt of our tentative offer,
a speedy settlement seems to he called for in fairness
to him.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence related to the development of education in Bahrain. In particular, the correspondence discusses a proposal by C.R.L Adrian-Vallance to establish a college of higher education in Bahrain for students from all of the Arab states of the Gulf.
Adrian-Vallance proposed this idea as a means to combat Pan-Arab/anti-British sentiment and foster a sense of Gulf identity distinct from a broader Arab identity. A letter (from Adrian-Vallance to Charles Belgrave, Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa's adviser) that outlines his plan for the college is contained on ff. 7 - 15.
The file also includes a detailed report on government education in Bahrain with proposals for reform (written by Adrian-Vallance in 1939) contained on ff. 52b - 126, a report on technical education in Bahrain (written by Geoffrey E. Hutchings in 1940) contained on ff. 160 - 192 and a report written by Adrian-Vallance in May 1940 that gives an update on the progress made in education in Bahrain since his appointment as Director of Education in the country in November 1939.
The file also contains correspondence regarding Adrian-Vallance's appointment as Director of Education in Bahrain, including a copy of his contract with Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
